Leads sought in Albion theft cases

ALBION — The Marshall County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public’s help in solving a rash of thefts from vehicles earlier this week.

According to a MCSO report, four Albion residents said a variety of personal items had been stolen.

He advised residents to lock their vehicles, and be mindful of leaving items of value in plain view.

“Other residents reported their vehicles had been entered,” but nothing was stolen,” said Hoffman. “They noticed consoles had been opened or papers were in disarray.”

The sheriff is asking those who may have information about the incidents to contact his office or submit tips via Marshall County Crimestoppers by calling (641) 753-1234, via text by texting the word “marshall” followed by the tip to CRIMES (274637), or online at marshallcountycs.com. All tips are completely anonymous and could earn a reward of up to $1,000 if the tip results in an arrest

Hoffman said the thefts are not directly connected to burglaries currently, but regardless, residents should be careful about leaving garage door openers and other means of residence access in unlocked vehicles.
